"Dr. Stein believes that the solution to the pandemic in late 22nd century America rests with his experiment of the first post-plague bio-engineered human. His goal and that of his partner Red carrying the bio-engineered baby is to escape the electronic-fenced city of New Heaven, Iowa. Along with their friend Sarah, they plan to reach their destination in northern Canada where the prototype virus-free baby will grow up, far away from the infected techno-society. Following rebel uprisings in the mid-22nd century, accidental biochemical warfare contamination across the country ushered in a new era and new order in society. Under the cloud of the plague where the majority are infected, survival is a daily struggle behind electric-fenced cities. To feed the virus and maintain their health, the infected resort to physical and psychological violence and aggression. With any act or thought of love, passion or compassion, the condition of the infected population deteriorates. Free of virus symptoms, a minority of the population known as mutants are relegated to ghettos. Under the watchful eye of the police and widespread satellite and drone surveillance to control the population, the police-state has taken control of cities where rebels hide out in mutant ghettos waiting for the next uprising to topple the regime. In a world of humans with cybernetic organs operating with the aid of cybernetic devices engineered to withstand the polluted environment, Dr. Stein, Red, and Sarah dream of a world where they would be able to distinguish people living free from androids serving their infected masters. Melody, Dr. Stein and Red's bio-engineered child growing up in northern Canada's wilderness, represents new hope for humanity, until she decides to return to New Heaven so she can be a part of the world from which her mother Red and her lab-creator father Dr. Stein escaped."

"A vivid account of the Ludlow Massacre--one of the most shameful events in American history, told by the children who lived through it"When her dad is killed in a mining accident, 12 year-old Katie Scully takes on the job of supporting her family. Wearing her brother's clothes, she enters the rough and tumble, boys-only world of the coal breaker. Bullied by the meanest boy in the breaker, Katie learns how to fight back. Soon the breaker boys are caught up in the Great Coalfield Strike of 1913. Enraged over dangerous conditions in the mines, Colorado's coal miners form a union and walk out, setting up living quarters in tents just outside the town of Ludlow. The union survives, despite hunger, cold, the worst blizzard in Colorado history, and the harassment of machine gun-wielding thugs. Determined to break the strike, the mine owners send State Guardsmen to destroy the tent city. Under cover of darkness, soldiers torch the camp, killing fourteen women and children--an event that becomes known as the Ludlow Massacre. The Guard's brutal commander claims the fire was an accident. Katie, the only witness to the atrocity, now faces an agonizing decision: keep quiet in fear of what might happen to her own family, or step forward and tell the truth, hoping to find justice for the victims."Vivid period details, strong characters, and a rip-roaring pace" --ARC reviewer"Thrilling--not a dull moment" --ARC reviewer"Brings life and dimension to labor history.

The kids in the story laugh, make friends, make do, and begin to make decisions for themselves. Children will keep turning pages to see what happens to their favorites." --Kevin O'Connell, author of Pearl Harbor, the Missing Motive
